Supercars takes off

V8 Supercars’ social channels have today switched to reflect the new name of the category, the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship.

The five-year sponsorship deal with the airline is being phased in with all assets to reflect the new brand by July 1.

The website will now be found at supercars.com, and discussions will run the hashtag #VASC.

Those who already follow the Championship on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram don’t need to do anything – you’ll continue to be a follower of the account, which just runs a different name. Ensure you use the new hashtag and refer to the category as just ‘Supercars’.
